Re: International Travel Ban

What you described is a not-uncommon psychological reaction.

*I* was made to (get a jab, wear a mask, pee in a cup, whatever) in order to get/keep my job, so it's NOT FAIR is you aren't ALSO made to suffer the way *I* was!!

A lot of people who SHOULD be opposed to mandates and other forms of government over-reach are going to support them, because it's more important to them that everyone else have to suffer the way they did than that the suffering stop.

I guess it's psychologically easier to want to impose the same rules/suffering on other people than it is to face the fact that you were some combination of abused, tricked, manipulated, or victimized, while other people escaped.
